This is a series for mental health researchers, teachers, and practitioners, for parents and interested lay readers, and for anyone trying to make sense of anxiety, depression, and other emotional difficulties. Critiquing the Psychiatric Model sets out to present a clear picture of the current mental disorder paradigm, one that claims an ability to diagnose and treat mental disorders and that provides medication as its primary treatment.
